You appear to have a Tomcat install from Debian or a Debian-based distro, and you will have to maintain that install according to however Debian or that distro specify. If you want to remove that installation and replace it with your own manual install of Tomcat, you can do that, too. All that is completely independent of Guacamole. If the vendor that provides your Tomcat packages has updated packages, you should be able to just use those. I can't speak for your vendor, but the ability to upgrade without breaking web applications that are already deployed is part of the point of having such packages. If you are entirely replacing your Tomcat install with your own manually-installed copy of Tomcat, then you will need to follow the usual install instructions to deploy Guacamole beneath that version of Tomcat just as you did for your old version. It's unlikely that your manually-installed copy of Tomcat will be looking at the same locations as your vendor's Tomcat. - Mike
